Over the weekend, we took a look at some of the spring previews for various brands. While full details are not yet available, there are plenty of images to drool over in the interim. As soon as I have more complete information, I’ll be sure to post! (Or if you are privy to it, you’re welcome to share–hint, hint!)

“A new season, a new story and, as always, our heroine Natalia. A chameleon star who gracefully lends her face to the four seasons. This spring will be fresh, even more luminous and more tender than ever. It’s “la vie en rose” with an Asian twist! Because I drew from the colours, tones and softness of the Far East to evoke “Cherry Blossom”.

Rouge G de Guerlain Le Brilliant

Luxury, design and absolute seduction. Since its creation in 2009, Rouge G has been all this at once. An impulsion of sophistication. A compulsion of glamour. An irresistible and irreplaceable must-have now and forever. Rouge G lives in its time and the saga continues. Today, it drapes itself in light shine that unites true chic and deceptive naturalness, richness and radiance, beauty and comfort.

KissKiss Strass

First, a crystalline texture, obtained by the inset of pure crystal beads to intensify and multiply the interplays of mother-of-pearl and colours. The secret behind its scintillating effects is the blend of three different types of mother-of-pear l, carefully mixed to create the illusion of multi-shimmering shine, like a river of rhinestones on the lips. Transparent mother-of-pear l enhances the base shade and gives depth and texture to lipstick. Transparent mother-of-pearl with coloured reflections plays with multidimensional effects. Finally, coloured mother-of-pear l projects even more intense reflections. Lips are beautified with multiple sparkling effects, like an array of sumptuous fabrics adorned with shimmering coloured stones.

In January 2010, Lancome will add a new cream gloss and release nine shades with the launch. Additionally, we’ll see two new shades of L’Absolu Rouge in Rose Mythique and Rose Boudoir. More information as it becomes available!
